Where do Canadians buy detailing gear?

I e-mailed Chris today about it and he said he was thinking about getting some Optimum, but even if he did it would be a month+ before he got it. I might just have to bite the bullet and order from a U.S based online distributor.

If you have a Automagic by you, they are very great distributers. www.automagic.biz. You can order stuff from them, and its top notch stuff.

Just fyi, Chris from eShine.ca sent me a PM mentioning that they will be selling Optimum compound, polish, and spray wax as soon as they can get a supply. Yay.

I`m getting a little sick of paying duty and really high shipping costs. Anyone have any ideas?

I`ve had good success here

and here

A gentleman usually hits the car shows in the Greater Toronto Area selling Zaino.

A Firestone/Bridgestone dealer in Guelph appears to be the one supplying all Zaino in Canada. Based on the date stamp on the boxes, the stuff is fresh.

I`m seeing Poorboys and other products popping up at various speed shops.

I found out the hard way last year when I was looking for LC pads, the guy was right in front of me !

I`am not disclosing my sources ! ....LoL

Why are you being a selfish jerk? :furious:

**salty** · 09-23-2005, 01:10 AM

I`ve ordered from both -eshine and -carcaresmart and they are quality vendors.

**smak** · 09-23-2005, 04:51 PM

neither eshine, carcaresmart or lastingshine seem to offer the wolfgang "polishin` pal" applicator.

any idea where i may find one in the gta?

autogeek has a decent promotion going but i`d rather find one north of the border.

If you aren`t in a rush, e-mail e-shine and ask if they can get one for you with their next order from WG. Worst that would happen is they can`t. But, maybe they can, if you are willing to wait a bit.

With regards to the Optimim and LC pads, e-shine carries both now.
